Jason Garrett not surprised by Jason Witten

Cowboys tight end Jason Witten was listed as questionable because of a sprained foot, but offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said there really was no question at all, at least according to Witten.

“He told me early on Monday I’m playing,” Garrett said. “It was touch and go. He was adamant right from the start that he was playing. He must have come by my office, or circled around my office probably 20 times over the last three days saying, `coach I’m playing.’ So I kept telling him, `look at the game plan, there are a lot of Witten plays on the game plan, don’t’ worry, we know you’re playing.’ That’s what he’s all about.”
